MORE ON KARMACODA //
As a total DIY band that self-produces all of their music, Karmacoda has created a sound where the production and recording are just as important as the writing and performing. Lead male vocalist, pianist and guitarist B. (Brett Crockett) also acts as the band?s engineer, producer, arranger and mixer. ?We all have strong jazz backgrounds and the use of improvisation is key to how we write, record and perform music. In many cases all of the parts that you hear are written but performed in an improvisational manner. Then I take the best parts of those performances and create the final song,? says B. ?Most people don?t think that electronically oriented bands would write, record and perform with that mindset but it?s key to our vibe.?
Eternal follows Karmacoda?s successful 2007 release Illuminate and marks the band?s seventh release. It was recorded in San Francisco at both ?The Briefing Room,? the band?s large personal rehearsal space and recording studio located on Treasure Island where they recorded drums, bass, guitar and other louder parts, and at ?The Amsterdam Room,? B.?s home studio where they did overdubs, tracked vocals and all mixing. In addition to B., Eric Matsuno, and Karmacoda?s lead vocalist Heather Pierce, Eternal features additional musicians including some of the West Coast?s best like Paul Johnson (guitar), Andy Korn (drums), Paul Dorr (jazz piano), Anji Bee (vocals), Beth Hirsch (vocals), Eamonn Flynn (piano), Ryan Lum (guitar), Neil Smith (guitar), Bill Schupp (drums) and Cheri Chuang (piano). The album was mastered by Andy VanDette (Metric, David Bowie) at Masterdisk in New York City.
